I've seen more spam on other sites than I have on dev.to --- so the system must be working. But we are all so on-guard ( as we should be ) for trash links that anything unusual becomes suspect. I've run into that myself and do not have a good idea how to deal with it.

Woot! That's great to hear Frank. 🙌

It's a constant game of adjusting things... spammers find an opening, we gotta plug it, and the process restarts. Kinda like this cat here 👇 but hopefully we're a bit more effective. 😅

And definitely good to keep on-guard for those trash links! They are out there!
